Ok I noticed my cars performace was declining a couple of months ago, it started out very slowly, Heres what was happing I would drive and I would have to rev up to high rpms to get my car to go & when I was driving on the freeway I would have to keeping reving my engine every once and a while to keep a steady pace & then finally my car wouldt move at all, The car started up just fine but when I put it in gear & hit this gas it would move, I checked the engine, sounds fine, no fluids leaking etc, Do you guys think I need a new clutch or flywheel? any help would be great :)

Sounds likes its the clutch, but if you put in gear & it didn't move then it sounds like a trans problem.

I had a clutch dick actually explode if you will, all the organic material came off and all that was left was the metal, looked like a fan blade lol. Try taking the dust shield off of the tranny and see if anything falls out.

Usually when something on a car "blows" its stops working.
Your clutch disk sounds glazed. If it chatters then your flywheels has been warped as well. New clutch disk and a flywheel resurface should fix it.

I raized up the right side of the car and the tire spun, but you can hold the tire w/ yours hands , and then engine dies down a little, as soon as you let go it starts spinning again, thx for your imputs keep em coming :)

Sounds like the clutch to me... My buddy has a 200SX and he was letting my other friend drive it (didnt drive standard well) by the time we were half way home I could smell serious clutch. You could put the car into gear w/o pushing in the clutch, the car wouldnt move at all by its own power. about 500 dollars, and two days later he had his clutch replaced, resurfaced flywheel and the knowledge not to let anyone else drive his car.
